Commentary

Formally, the word can be a genitive II in -s, well attested in Raetic. Its occurring together with a rare ablative (kleimunθeis) makes an interpretation as an ablative in -s equally feasible. In either case, the base is most likely to be an individual name θauki. The connection with the two occurrences of the unclear sequence θauχ- is dubious.
